Anand Menon: Euro elections could be a staging post for fringe parties

UKICE Director Anand Menon reacts to the dramatic 2024 European Parliament election results on BBC News:
"Quite often European elections serve as a staging post for fringe parties to go on to do well in national politics".
"Ursula von der Leyen's centre-right European People's Party has drifted rightwards in the run-up to these elections".
"The anticipated success of the far-right has already had something of an impact on the policies pursued by the so-called centrist parties".
